Details
The audio recording captures the lively atmosphere at the grand portico of the National Gallery in London. Recorded on April 6, 2013, the bustling soundscape immerses you in the heart of England's capital city. The large, imposing structure of the gallery, a testament to architectural grandeur, forms the backdrop to a symphony of city life. An abundance of people, both locals and tourists, can be heard. Their chatter and laughter create a vibrant tapestry of sound, punctuated by the occasional cry of a street vendor or the distant hum of traffic.
